Robert Beauford McDaniel(s)

On my grandfather's birth certificate, his father is listed as Robert Beauford McDaniels; however, my grandfather's last name was McDaniel. Also on the birth certificate, my grandfather's mother's name was misspelled, so I've concluded it was a 'typo' in recording his last name.

Robert was married to my great-grandmother for a short time, and then he basically disappeared. All I know is he listed on my grandfather's birth certificate that he was from Houston, Texas, which is where my grandfather was born. My mother and uncle remember hearing stories that Robert had 2 sisters or aunts who were actresses in New York.

My great-grandmother was Annie Estelle Lallier, and their son (my grandfather) was Bobbie Joe McDaniel (b. 1926). Any help with locating any information about him and his family is greatly appreciated!
